The cultivators inside the secret realm were engaged in a fierce battle, but the situation outside was equally intense.
At this moment, there were still many people standing in the martial arts hall. They were all cultivators who had not been drawn in the previous round of competition, but they did not leave casually.
Those who cultivate immortality are all sharp-eared and sharp-eyed; even if the water mirror is divided into a hundred pieces, they can clearly see the images displayed on each piece.
These one hundred secret realms each have a unique setting, including towering cliffs, snow-covered forests, lone boats at sea, and scorching deserts.
Different cultivators can often unleash greater power when they encounter suitable scenarios.
Just like that water-elemental cultivator on a lone boat at sea, she can unleash several times more power than usual at sea, defeating her opponent in an instant.
There might be even more exciting fights on these hundred water mirrors, but most people unanimously shifted their gaze to a water mirror in the corner.
In the water mirror, a girl dressed in a white robe with gold thread and an ordinary appearance greeted the thin man in a blue robe in a friendly manner.
This is utterly unremarkable.
However, everyone still wanted to see something special in that girl.
The first appearance of the disciple personally accepted by the Flying Star Sect Master after many years naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"Tsk, what was the Flying Star Sect Master's name again? His taste is really quite unique. He's a cultivator, after all. Why can't he make his face look better? Isn't the Flying Star Sect famous for alchemy? As the Sect Master's personal disciple, he should be able to get a disguise pill easily, right?"
This person's words were anything but polite, laced with barbs and laced with an undisguised sourness.
Another female cultivator, disapproving of this person's sour attitude, immediately retorted.
"Cultivators, cultivators, the most important thing is cultivation level and strength. Don't you think it's shallow to only look at appearances?"
"Exactly! You care so much about your appearance, did you also take a disguise pill?"
"Ha! I think he's just jealous of her, and since he can't compare to her, he's resorting to all sorts of ways to slander her!"
The male cultivator was attacked by the group and fled in disgrace.
The group continued to stare at the water mirror, exchanging the information they knew.
“My master once met Immortal Venerable Guixing. He said that Immortal Venerable Guixing was unconventional in nature, but had an extremely accurate eye for people.”
"Back then, he passed through a city where the Spirit Academy was recruiting new members. At that time, the young Venerable Canglang was not considered a promising candidate, but Immortal Venerable Guixing took a liking to him and brought him back to the Flying Star Sect as a personal disciple. The Venerable Canglang now is..."
"Indeed, so this Jade Smoke must have something extraordinary about it."
As everyone was discussing this animatedly, suddenly someone pointed at the water mirror and exclaimed, "Look! Yu Shengyan's movements are so fast!"
A hidden realm, atop a high mountain.
Qi Yu gripped the black iron sword, wielding the Jade Carving Sword Technique, and gracefully swept towards Bao Rongtao.
Bao Rongtao also gathered his spiritual power into the longsword in his hand and faced Qi Yu.
Both of them were at the early stage of the Golden Core realm and were sword cultivators. As soon as their swords clashed, they sparked a few sparks.
Bao Rongtao's face turned even more bitter, and he did his best to avoid being knocked back by Qi Yu's force.
Seeing that his expression was not good, Qi Yu turned around and unleashed several pale green sword energies.
"Fellow Daoist Bao, you are no match for me. Do you admit defeat?"
Bao Rongtao gritted his teeth and shattered the sword energy with his sword.
"To admit defeat so early would only invite ridicule!"
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow, belatedly realizing that her words had been somewhat hurtful.
Although she didn't like the Yunyang Sect, she quite liked this little bun.
"I'm sorry, but please, give it your all!"
Before Bao Rongtao could compose himself, the girl opposite him charged at him with lightning speed, wielding her rough iron sword.
She was surrounded by wisps of spiritual energy that continuously provided her with assistance as she moved.
Bang!
Despite using all his strength, Bao Rongtao was still sent flying backward by the girl's blows in just a few exchanges.
The mountaintop was extremely small; he paused in mid-air for a few seconds before plummeting down the cliff.
Amidst the drifting clouds and mist, he had no more spiritual power to support his flight. He could only pray that the elders of the sect would catch him and prevent him from falling to his death.
He closed his eyes resignedly to his fate.
A pair of warm arms suddenly reached out and caught his body as it fell uncontrollably.
The downward trend stopped abruptly.
"Fellow Daoist Bao, why do you look like you're about to fall asleep?"
A teasing voice came from above his head.
Bao Rongtao opened his eyes and looked at the girl's cheerful smile with some surprise.
It wasn't mockery, nor was it ridicule.
Treat it like a friend.
"Why do you look like you've lost your soul?" Qi Yu continued shamelessly when he saw that he looked dumbfounded. "Although you lost this time, it's normal to lose to me."
As she spoke, she moved with incredible speed, her feet radiating spiritual energy, and she took several leaps in the air, returning to the summit of the mountain.
A man with deep-set eyes, a straight nose, and dressed in a black robe and light armor was already standing there.
He stared intently at the girl who had one hand under Bao Rongtao's armpit and the other behind his knee, and remained silent for a long time.
Qi Yu didn't recognize the man and assumed he was an elder of the Yunyang Sect, so he put Bao Rongtao down.
"Venerable one, I have won this match, haven't I?"
The man glanced at her subtly, nodded, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a beam of white light enveloped the three of them.
The next second, Qi Yu returned to the Martial Arts Hall.
She looked up at the huge water mirror, her gaze settling on a spot in the corner.
The image on the water mirror remained frozen at the moment she knocked Bao Rongtao off the cliff; after a short while, it gradually transformed into several large characters.
"Flying Star Sect Jade Smoke Surpasses All."
At the same time, the jade pendant in her arms, which had been distributed by Venerable Yangxi, also began to feel hot.
When she took it out and looked at it, the appearance of the jade pendant had also subtly changed.
Below the original three characters “玉生烟”, an extra character appeared.
one.
It seems that Yunyang Sect has already counted the points she gained from this victory.
"Junior Sister Yu is done too?"
A voice suddenly came from the side.
Qi Yu looked up at Wen Ru, who was surrounded by moisture, and nodded, saying, "Yes, the opponent isn't too difficult to deal with."
Wen Ru patted her head as if praising a child, and said with a smile, "Little Yan is so amazing!"
Qi Yu had just been brazenly telling Bao Rongtao that it was only natural for him to win, but he became somewhat embarrassed in front of Wen Ru.
"It's just so-so."
Several fellow disciples from the Flying Star Sect also gathered around. They hadn't been selected for the competition, so they had watched the entire duel between Qi Yu and Bao Rongtao.
"I had no idea that Junior Sister Yu had already reached the Golden Core stage. Your progress is truly astonishing."
"Indeed, I've been cultivating for almost a hundred years and haven't even broken through to the Golden Core stage. I feel really ashamed when I see this."
Qi Yu quickly waved his hand, declining the offer, saying that he was just lucky and had encountered a suitable opportunity.
The group then began exchanging cultivation experiences, and incidentally became a group of netizens praising Qi Yu to the skies.
